Thanks, sc0ttman. Firedog is just what I was looking for.
For your information: when I received an update notification, (it said "update available for Firedog") the partial update could not be applied, so a full update was installed. All of the Puppy branding disappeared, but so far the functions appear to be unchanged.

I tried to get firedog to update on my dialup machine at home-the one I am writing this on. That did not work so I tried to overwroie it and that did not work either. I even went in and started the program from the new firedog desktop in root packages and it still opens the old firedog 2.

Looks like I will have to nuke both of them now and start over. Is it necessary to leave the four libs from seamonkey as with the original firedog? Really looking forward to seeing is there is any noticeable loss of speed, at the office I have cable so its a moot point there.

In case anyone is under the impression that it is now impossible to download youtube videos and other such things in 431 as I have heard it is a piece of cake with FireDog and VLC.

Download Helper is one way : http://www.downloadhelper.net/

Tested it today by downloading a flv file from youtube on dialup and it played perfectly in VLC with no conversion necessary. Sure there are other ways to do it but since I have heard people have gone so far as to switch Distros just for this minor problem, the youtube downloader no longer working , I though it was worth posting,

FireDog works!

If anyone finds a fix for the included downloader please let me know, it does make Puppy seem easier to people unfamiliar with real operating systems. It might be a good idea to preload Download Helper or a similar app in Firedog,

Firedog youtube downloads work (for me at least) using the addon which is installed by default..

You must first load and start playing the video before you start downloading it.
